[API Docs (main)](https://ngrok.github.io/ngrok-rust/ngrok)
[ngrok](https://ngrok.com) is a simplified API-first ingress-as-a-service that adds connectivity,
security, and observability to your apps.
ngrok-rust, our native and idiomatic crate for adding a public internet address
with secure ingress traffic directly into your Rust apps 🦀. If you’ve used ngrok in
the past, you can think of ngrok-rust as the ngrok agent packaged as a Rust crate.
ngrok-rust lets developers serve Rust services on the internet in a single statement
without setting up low-level network primitives like IPs, NAT, certificates,
load balancers, and even ports! Applications using ngrok-rust listen on ngrok’s global
ingress network for TCP and HTTP traffic. ngrok-rust listeners are usable with
[hyper Servers](https://docs.rs/hyper/latest/hyper/server/index.html), and connections
implement [tokio’s AsyncRead and AsyncWrite traits](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/index.html).
This makes it easy to add ngrok-rust into any application that’s built on hyper, such
as the popular [axum](https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/) HTTP framework.
See [`/ngrok/examples/`][examples] for example usage, or the tests in
[`/ngrok/src/online_tests.rs`][online-tests].

## Installation
Add `ngrok` to the `[dependencies]` section of your `Cargo.toml` with `cargo add`:
```bash
$ cargo add ngrok
```
## Quickstart
Create a simple HTTP server using `ngrok` and `axum`:
`Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[package]
name = "ngrok-rust-demo"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
[dependencies]
ngrok = {version = "0.14.0"}
tokio = { version = "1", features = [
"full"
] }
axum = { version = "0.7.4", features = ["tokio"] }
async-trait = "0.1.59"
hyper = {version = "1", features = ["full"]}
hyper-util = { version = "0.1", features = [
"full"
] }
url = "2.5.4"
```
`src/main.rs`:
```rust
#![deny(warnings)]
use axum::{routing::get, Router};
use ngrok::config::ForwarderBuilder;
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use url::Url;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>> {
// Create Axum app
let app = Router::new().route("/", get(|| async { "Hello from Axum!" }));
// Spawn Axum server
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
tokio::spawn(async move {
axum::serve(tokio::net::TcpListener::bind(addr).await.unwrap(), app)
.await
.unwrap();
});
// Set up ngrok tunnel
let sess1 = ngrok::Session::builder()
.authtoken_from_env()
.connect()
.await?;
let sess2 = ngrok::Session::builder()
.authtoken_from_env()
.connect()
.await?;
let _listener = sess1
.http_endpoint()
.domain("/* your domain*/")
.pooling_enabled(true)
.listen_and_forward(Url::parse("http://localhost:3000").unwrap())
.await?;
let _listener2 = sess2
.http_endpoint()
.domain("/* your domain */")
.pooling_enabled(true)
.listen_and_forward(Url::parse("http://localhost:8000").unwrap())
.await?;
// Wait indefinitely
tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
Ok(())
}
```
